The Cruiser Chicago.

Aletter received at the Navy Department from
member OF the navaladvisory board now In New
York says, in regard to the cruiser Chicago, that
at the recent dock trial her engines and boilers
worked beautifully and made more power than
was anticipated. The forward engines developed
2os4 horsepower and the after pair ,O76 without
more so that there is not 30 much TO make up to
meet the required 5000 horse power. The engines
worked smoothly and the boilers made plenty Of
steam.

On Punishing Children.

Spencer says a great deal about max.
ing child leara to do right by being
made TO feel the consequences of doing
wrong: but &c does not, perhaps, give
due weight to making sure that the
chlid connects cause and effect If my
own children are not more stupid than
other peoples, there is frequently no
real understanding. and consequently
no value in rational punishment of this
type, although there may be an appar-
ent understanding. For instance, nv
slx-year-old boy, with perhaps an in
herited passion for scribbling, is fond
of getting atmy botter and pulling the
cap off my stylographic pen. l pun
ished him one day by giving his sisters
some pencils to write with, while he
had nothing. lie seemed TO under
stand, and | asked him why his sisters
had pencils and he had none. BE

AN OLD VIOLIN.

Remarkable History of Instrument
Made i'm Germany In 1900.
Probably the oldest violin In Ulster
County is owned by John Goellcr. of
Rondout. II was manufactured in the
year 1906 in Germany. The old violin
hss a strange history. In ls2uthe sex
ton of an ancient cloister i'm German,
found violin in the garret of the
building. 1t was covered with dust and
cobwebs. On the box was the date and
the makers name The sexton. hejn.
somewhat of a musician, discovered
that the instrument he found was
valuable one. He took. it to Young
Goellers grandfather. who was good
friend of his, and noted musician in
that part of Germany. and said:
Professor, here is an instrument
that | found in the cloist.r gurret. 1t
intrinsic value know not. but that il
is worth large sum | am convinced.
| give il to yon on one condition, and
that is you will promise me never to lei
it 60 out of the Gueller family
The professor promised, and the
violin changed ownership. just pre-
vious to the old professors death. in
Germany, he sent the violin TO his son.
George Goeller, now of Rondout, bui
at that time living in New York and
playing in the orchestra at the oil,
Chatham Street Theater. One night
message reached Mr.. Goeller at th,
theater that the house where he liyet
was on fire. His first thought was o.
the old violin, which was in his bed
room. He made his way to the hous,
and found the house ia flames.
Nothing dauntcd, and Mt the risk
of his life, he rushed into the burn.
ing building. A cry of horror arose
from the crowd in the street who were
sure that he had gone TO his death. A
minute later Mr.. Goeller. blnckened
and seorched by smoke and flame.
emerged from the house. bearing in his
hand the priced instrument. He sank
exhausted to the sidewalk. A by
stander, seeing what Mr.. Goeller had
l1sked bis life for, exclaimed.
I'm fool if the man didn't run the
risk of being burned to death for an old
fiddle
Mr.. Goeller believes to this day that
the man who uttered the words had no
music in his soul. Ole Bull heard Of
the violin, and made an effort to
purchase it. He was told that the in
Strument was not for sale. After MIR.
Goeller moved to Rondout and his son
John was large enough to handle Il
bow, he presented to him the instru-
ment, with the same instructions that
his father had given him, never to let il |
go out of the GoellcY fanlily. Kingston |

DR.. PRENTICE

The career of DIR. Prentice since hi.
advent on this coast, has been one oI
most remarkable character. AL
though he came here with reputa.
ton OF the highest standing as phy.
sician and surgeon, yet we scarcely
could have expected that it would be
possible FOR any man to accomplish in
the short space of four months the as.
tonishing results that DIR. Prentice has
attained i'll that short space of time.
When we state the fact, which is true
That he has operated upon nearly six
hundred cases OF tratisnus. or cross
eyes, 1T seems incredible, for this il
undoubtedly a greater number than
all the combined surgeons of the coast
have operated on in ten years. A
number OF these operations he has per
formed within one-quarter of a minute.
ana all OF his cases have been perfectly
successful, not even one in this vast
number have been compelled to wear a
bandage, for he causes so little irfita.
ton To the eye that no inflammation
follows the operation. Many of these
cases had been given up as hopeless
by the most eminent physicians of
high standing on the coast. His cures
~ siammerers or Sufferers that have
been treated without any benefit by
others, are the talk and wonder of the
coast. Gases where y, ople have beef
unable TO talk or hold conversation
from earliest childhood are someiim, 8
cured within one hour. One OF ths Sc
cases is that OF l.. y NJ stick, of ITO
Post Street, San Francisco. Cal. He
has made so many cures of exeeedin .Iv
bad cases of Cdtirrh, some OF over
itiy wears standing, that IA Comm nv
has offered bin $4,000 for the secret
ana the rght To use them, winch The
Doctor promptly refused. n. his own
practice is worth at least S75 900 (sey-
enty five thous md dell rs) Il ear. InaIi
cases OF Gross Eyes, Stannlerin and
Piles, 1T is necessary for the patient to
come 10 the Doctor off e Tor 10 leAst
one daN. Although he prefers i'm ali
cases TO see his paii ms where II is
possible, yet IN cases Of Calarih, Fe
male weakness, ID afness. Rhtum.-
tism, Kidney and Liver Complaint, by
sending very careful description ar
diagnosis OF the case lie is able 10 effect
perfect and permanent cur,s.
Persons wishing 10 visit the Doctor,
or wishing treatment by mail. shu,Ill
send or come at once, a lie will po,i-
uvely leave TN the 20th OF june 10
visit the hospitals of Europe, which he
makes practice of doing nearly every
year. This rare OPP oitunity should
be lost by none. His off .es are 626
Sutter Street, San Francisco, Cal.
Those wishing treatment by mail
can write DIR. Prentice even after he
leaves. His letters viii be forwarded
TO him in Europe and his medicines
VIII be promptly sent to patients.
